Have only completed the rear ZipZap wheels, got caught up in building a setup and learning to anodize aluminum parts. As for performance they are flatter on top and truer but haven’t really noticed anything one way or the other but then I haven’t looked, also the car that I put them on has been tampered with slightly, lol most of mine have, makes it hard for any general conclusion. The tires do fit a lot better and I am looking forward to driving my Rat, SE w/IW-02 cb, LiPo, & ZZMT motor, on a RCP track with a complete set to see if they help the stability any.

That looks great, a blue one would be better, but personally I prefer the natural silver look for wheels. :???:

Confucius Pimp say “patience will be rewarded,” or maybe that’s make you green with envy.

BTW you can remove anodized surfaces by soaking in Sodium Hydroxide then re-anodize and dyeing. :-o Edit: That body does look good with the red. Have a gold dye that just needs a tank, and a greay blue on order.

The US Postal Service is holding me up though, am not only waiting on more dye colors, also the parts to make more tanks for those colors, as well as a vibratory tumbler and media for de-burring and polishing. Ok sleep and work is also slowing me down a bit.

If you're gunna sell, sell both.
The dish wheels give it the RC touring look, while the normal rims help to make it loook more like a car. So it's your choice, go for the look you want. They are both SWEET, I'm getting dizzy looking at the dish :D
